Chris Christie: Use Orlando attack as excuse to bomb the Middle East

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said Sunday’s deadly attack at a gay nightclub in Orlando should prompt an overseas military response.

The Republican governor said Tuesday morning on New York radio station WFAN that “radical Islamic terrorists are out to kill us,” when he was asked to respond to the attack that left 49 people dead.

“It is unacceptable to allow this type of stuff in our country and for us to not fight back,” he said. “We’ve got to fight back.” Christie was limited on details of where the U.S. should attack.

“You’ve got to get over there and make them pay where they live,” Christie said.

Since Mr. Mateen was born in Queens, is Gov. Christie calling in airstrikes there?

It stirs up the right emotions in the base even though the pol knows
its counterproductive. Now that's one cynical bastard.

Maybe if Christie put his cheeseburger down and picked up a newspaper he'd know that.

Where exactly? Or, should we just go bomb some foreign land, just any foreign land?

That worked out so well last time.

We cannot let public figures, like Christie, Trump, and so many others, get away with spouting illogical crap and pretending they're fit to govern and not fight back.
